In an interview with Us magazine, Black insisted that she was completely unprepared for the attention the song has attracted from the media.

"It's indescribable," she said. "I'm so overwhelmed right now with all this."

The star added: "Yeah, there are people that love it, but there are people that hate it. I feel so blessed, but overwhelmed."

Black went on to say that she has learned that the best way to deal with those who criticize 'Friday' and her vocal talent is to simply ignore them.

The 'Friday' musician continued: "Now I have realized, that that's their opinion. I have my own. They can think what they want and so can I. That just helps me with it. My mom is my biggest fan.

"She is so supportive, and she would always say that everything happens for a good, positive reason. Those people are the people that have no lives sitting on a computer all day thinking about what to say."
